Verinder Sehwag (48* off 35 balls) looks to be in top form, but a run-out and a converted opportunity behind the wicket has South Africa back in the game in Kolkata.
Sehwag, however, offered a chance to JP Duminy at first slip, but Duminy did as well as he did with the bat yesterday and dropped the ball with Sehwag on 47. India has 92 for two after 15 overs.
The second morning saw South Africa add another 30 runs to their first innings before being dismissed for 296 on a batsmen-friendly wicket.
Wayne Parnell (11) was the last man out when he became Zaheer Khan’s fourth victim of the innings when he was trapped LBW.
South Africa won the toss yesterday and had two centuries in the 296 scored at Eden Gardens: very few runs were scored by anyone but Alviro Petersen (100) and Hashim Amla (114).
Sehwag is now batting with Sachin Tendulkar.
India needs to win this Test to keep their number-one ranking in world Test cricket.
